Forgive me for I'm not the daughter you wanted me to be.
I had many years to think about the actions I have taken, the pain I have caused you, and my coward's way out through the back door.

I been feeding the monster too long, I think that clever got me this far and tricky got me in.
I stepped inside my own cell, which I have been dwelling for the last 10 years.

I waited there counting the days I didn't want to be close to you, the days I didn't want to be me, the days that I thought the world wanted to eat me alive.
You see it's not your fault, you did what you could.

I was just to scared to live, scared of letting anyone in, scared of letting myself out.
I fed my own need to be away from you, and everyone else.
Forgive me for I'm not the daughter you wanted me to be, I sold myself to the knife that lived in my head too long.
